An activist has filed a petition in the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court seeking responses from the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) and the state government regarding the implementation of Supreme Court guidelines on discontinuing the two-finger test for sexual assault victims. The petitioner has urged the court to direct MUHS and the government to comply with the apex court’s directives to stop the controversial practice which has been widely criticized for being intrusive and violative of the victim’s dignity. The two-finger test, often used to determine if a woman is habituated to sexual intercourse, has been deemed unscientific and unreliable by medical experts and human rights organizations. The activist has raised concerns about the continued use of this outdated and discriminatory practice despite clear guidelines from the Supreme Court to discontinue it. The petition highlights the importance of respecting the rights and privacy of sexual assault survivors and calls for the immediate implementation of more victim-centric and trauma-informed medical protocols. This case underscores the ongoing efforts to reform the criminal justice system and healthcare practices to better support survivors of sexual violence. Stay tuned for updates on this important legal development that could have a significant impact on the handling of sexual assault cases in India.
